In later generations, Zhu Yuanzhang was the same, exterminating the kings with different surnames, but dividing the kings of the clans, in order to also firmly control the world for the Zhu family.

But these are the only proof in the end, the harm of the prince of the clan is no less than that of the king with a different surname, at least the scourge to the world, although no matter whether the usurpation is successful or not, in the end, the Zhu family and the Liu family sit in the world and achieve the goal of Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang.

But this is obviously not Liu Zhang's purpose, if his children and grandchildren are so troublesome in the world, it is better to change the dynasty, the chaos of the Eight Kings of the Jin Dynasty, if Liu Zhang is Sima Zhao, their ancestors will feel extremely ashamed.

For the troubles of the world and the people, the children of the clan are the same as the kings with different surnames, or even more tragic, because the kings of those children of the clan are qualified to succeed to the throne, and if they are kings with different surnames, it is difficult to correct their names.

The reason why Liu Zhang stipulated this was also to put an end to the chaos of the clan.

Huang Yueying was taken aback and nodded slightly, if Liu Zhang started to say this, Huang Yueying would definitely refute it, but Liu Zhang had already said a lot of things beyond his understanding, knowing that this was also what Liu Zhang had thought, even if he refuted it, he couldn't refute it.

If everyone is treated equally, even the clan can only be awarded a decreasing title, and if the government is not opened, the country will not be governed, and the civil and military forces may be balanced.

But Huang Yueying still had a sad look on her face, the three sons of the family, if the eldest son didn't get the apple, the second son and the third son would definitely feel better.

But if the second and third sons thought they should get the apples, but now they can't get it, even if the eldest son doesn't get it, will they be happy in their hearts?

Originally, they were unhappy when they moved the capital to Beiping. These titles are now conferred. They will only be more unhappy.

Huang Yueying was really worried. Isn't there going to be a mess.

"Other than that." Liu Zhangruo glanced at Huang Yueying meaningfully before saying, "Yueying, you will help me, right?" ”

"Of course I ...... Wait a minute. Huang Yueying looked at Liu Zhang's ill-intentioned expression, her brain turned, and she suddenly understood: "Lord, you won't ...... You are still the same as the last time when the capital was set in Beijing, let me first ask for a decreasing title and not open the mansion. Not to govern the country? ”

Huang Yueying looked at Liu Zhang, saw the affirmative answer from Liu Zhang's expression, suddenly became angry, and stood up suddenly: "Lord, you are too much, I finally know now why you want to canonize me as the King of Yan first, you have already made up this idea, haven't you?" ”

Huang Yueying's face turned red, she didn't care much about this title, not to mention that Huang Yueying was about to marry Liu Zhang, even if she was a man. also knows that the title of King Yan is too high, and sooner or later he will be the target of eradication.

If it's a decreasing title. If you don't open the government and don't govern the country, you will be safe, at least you can enjoy wealth and prosperity.

Huang Yueying was angry that Liu Zhang had calculated himself so early, and he didn't know it all along.

If you invite yourself to reduce your title, don't open the government, and don't govern the country, it's not just a decline in your own power, but more importantly, you're blocking the mouths of other ministers.

The second son and the third son thought they would get apples, but the eldest son came to his father and said that I don't want apples anymore, so the second son and the third son didn't have apples.

The second son and the third son must have hated not their father first, but this eldest son.

Poor self is about to become a tragic eldest son.

Liu Zhang looked at the angry Huang Yueying, his old face was a little unbearable, and he pulled Huang Yueying's pale yellow skirt: "Yueying, sit down first, sit down first, if it doesn't work, let's discuss it again." ”

Huang Yueying sat down angrily, and after a while, she said with some resentment: "Alas, it's okay to do this, you can minimize the indifference and resentment of other civil and military forces towards you, and I will be hated if I am hated." ”

"I decided to change the previous rank of the knighthood, and divide the prince into five ranks, the first is the king side by side, one person is above ten thousand people, and this title is only Yueying You can bear."

"I was also promoted to one level, side by side as king, such a big official."

Huang Yueying pursed her lips, if it was before, hearing the words "side by side king", Huang Yueying would definitely jump up and ask Liu Zhang not to seal it.

But if you don't open a government, you don't govern the country, you don't have any power, and it's still a decreasing title.

This side-by-side king only symbolizes wealth and status, and has no use, and a man nods to you, are you very proud? Then look at the number of officials who are tied to the prime minister, or the number of people who are the king side by side?

Liu Zhang knew that Huang Yueying was seriously dissatisfied with him, so he didn't care, and continued: "The second level is the king of a state, and the following are the county king, the county king, and the king of Wushiyi.

Fa Zheng, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan, Zhi Lanying, I plan to canonize the king of a state, Fan Lixiang, Zhao Yun and others are all canonized as the king of the county, Zhao Yun and others forget it, they are not considered cronies.

Filial piety until Fan Lixiang, I will let them ask for their own non-governance of the country and not open the government, so if Yueying you don't want to, I can always find someone to take the lead. ”

"There are so many people you want to harm, if you continue to do this, it is estimated that in the future, it will be full of civil and military grudges, filial piety, Zhang Ren and they should forget it, it is not easy to follow you, anyway...... Anyway, sooner or later, I will also be your person, and if I am hated, I will be hated, and I will fight this head. ”

"I knew that Yueying would understand me." Liu Zhang suddenly reached out and hugged Huang Yueying's slender waist and hugged her, a wisp of female body fragrance was refreshing, and Liu Zhang couldn't help but want to let go.

"I'm sorry for you." Liu Zhang whispered in Huang Yueying's ear, and the roots of Huang Yueying's ears were flushed with the heat, but she broke away from Liu Zhang's arms.

"Okay, the matter of the title is over, it's time to discuss the official system, you don't plan to use the original official system of the Han Dynasty, then you can talk about the new official system in detail, I want to go back and take a closer look."

Liu Zhang nodded, "I have already told you before, I plan to use a new system, called the Three Provinces and Six Ministries System......"

The Qin Dynasty became the first feudal dynasty, and the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, but the bureaucratic system was still being improved, and the current Han bureaucracy was bloated in some places, weak in others, and obviously not very conducive to centralization.

This kind of official system is still very rough in the entire feudal period, so Liu Zhang doesn't plan to use it.

Relatively speaking, the three-province six-ministry system was a very strict feudal bureaucratic system. It is much more mature than the official system of the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, it would not have lasted from the Sui Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

This system has stood the test of time. It also illustrates his practicality.

However, Liu Zhang's plan to use the three-province six-ministry system made some simple changes, because Liu Zhang felt that although the three-province six-ministry system was tightly organized and systematic, the checks and balances of each ministry were conducive to centralization.

However, there is one biggest weakness, which is not conducive to the integrity of officials, since the implementation of the system of three provinces and six ministries, official corruption has been significantly higher than in the Qin and Han dynasties. There may be other reasons, but the weakness of the weak supervision of the six-ministry system in the three provinces is definitely a big reason.

It is impossible to make all officials impartial, but there are relative checks and balances that can reduce the corruption of officialdom.

All dynasties, the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, all had their own methods to curb corruption, but it seems that the results are very small, especially in the Ming Dynasty, the most methods. Corruption is the worst, and the more it is rectified, the more corrupt it becomes.

Liu Zhang was not sure that his method would work. But fortunately, I won't die soon, and the rest of the time can be slowly improved.

After talking to Huang Yueying about the three provinces and six ministries system, Huang Yueying just went out, she needed to go back to the system to sort it out, and then communicate with the Minister of Culture and Martial Affairs, otherwise everyone would be stunned when a new official system came down.

Listen to the opinions of these civil and military officers casually.

……

"Knock--knock--knock-"

December 12, just like the twelfth year of the founding of the military force two hundred years ago, is a memorable day for the Han Dynasty, because this day marks the reunification of the Han Dynasty after the second world turmoil.

The Empress Dowager Fu Shou of the Regent issued an edict to establish Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, as the new emperor and accept the worship of the ministers of civil and military affairs.

However, the first place Liu Zhang went to was not the newly built palace hall in Beijing, nor did he sit on the dragon chair that no one had sat on for many years.

In the cold morning in the north, the morning bell of the stargazing platform echoed in the quiet imperial city of Beijing, and the clouds of fragrant smoke lingered, slowly disappearing on the top of the towering black tower.

On the top of the towering stone staircase are eighteen rooftops, symbolizing the totems of the eighteen states of the Han Dynasty, including Dian Prefecture, the Western Regions, the Northern Grassland, Goguryeo, and the U Kingdom, arching and guarding the black spiritual pagoda, and the beast statue cast in molten iron looks up at the sky.

This is the highest point in the city of Beijing, and it is also a holy place that all the Han people should worship.

Because the black tower of the stargazing platform is dedicated to all the civil and military heroes who sacrificed their lives for the Han Dynasty and made outstanding contributions to the Han Dynasty.

Liu Zhang specially built this high platform, even more carefully than the palace, and moved the Qilin Pavilion in the previous Han Wu Emperor period, the Meritorious Pavilion in Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Meritorious Pavilion in Chengdu, all the late meritorious ministers, all moved here.

The Pavilion of the Heroes of the Great Han Dynasty Wangxingtai includes the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty who created the foundation of the Great Han Dynasty, Cao Shen and Zhou Yafu during the period of recuperation, Wei Qinghuo Qubing in the Han Wu period, the 28 generals of Yuntai of Emperor Liu Xiu of Guangwu Emperor, and the Banchao Emperor Fu Song in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty.

In addition, it also includes the important generals who died in the process of Liu Zhang's rise, including Qu Tian, Leng Bao, and the generals who died in the Battle of Baichuan, the generals who died in the First Battle of Yangpingguan, and many wars in which the Sichuan army suffered heavy casualties, and the civilian officials who were killed by the rebels during the Jingyi Rebellion, hundreds of tablets are lined up.

On the wide stone staircase leading to the Hero Tower, Liu Zhang led Huang Yueying to be so powerful Fa Zheng Zhang Ren and the four of them, slowly stepped on the high platform, and when the early morning fog was stepping on Liu Zhang's feet, a black gate appeared in front of his eyes.

It is not the officials and the military who manage the tower, the army is only responsible for the vigilance outside the star-watching platform, and it is some carefully selected monks who manage the tower.

Although Liu Zhang doesn't believe in any excess, he feels that using these monks to accompany the heroes and reciting scriptures every day is a sign of respect for the deceased heroes.

The little novice under the door clasped his hands together and hurried to meet him.

"Your Highness, the martyrs' shrines in Chengdu, Luoyang, and Chang'an have all been moved into the Heroes Tower!"

Liu Zhang bowed slightly, waved his hand to the little novice, approached the heavy door, did not ask someone to open the door, but pushed it open with his own hands, and in the lobby of the painting building, thousands of tablets slowly appeared in front of Liu Zhang's eyes with the expansion of the light.

Liu Zhang walked under a bottle of tablets in the middle, caressing the cold outline of the spirit tablet, and after a long time, Liu Zhang slowly got up, and each tablet flashed in Liu Zhang's eyes one by one.

In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, countless star-studded figures have fallen, laying the foundation of the Han nation, and the characters symbolized by these tablets here are all indispensable.

At the bottom of the tablet with the cold bud in the center, there are no these people, and there is no Sichuan army today.

And to build this pavilion of meritorious heroes, before being proclaimed emperor, Liu Zhang first came to worship here, which is to tell everyone in the Han Dynasty that they should never forget the martyrs who contributed to the Han nation in the past.

At the same time, it is also to tell the people of the world that if you have made outstanding contributions to the Han nation, you will also be remembered.

Liu Zhang has some hatred for those who forget the deceased martyrs, and forgetting represents betrayal and at the same time the degradation of a nation.

Into the incense burner, as if those heroes of the troubled times who fell into the cold smoke, are still hidden in the smoke clouds.

"Knock--knock--knock-"

The second morning bell of the Hero Tower rang, Liu Zhang glanced at the mourning hall again, took a few steps back gently, and bowed solemnly to all the tablets, so powerful behind him, Huang Yueying, Zhang Ren, and Fa Zheng also saluted respectfully.

When Liu Zhang walked out, eight soldiers came over carrying a cloth scroll, opened it on a high platform, and a huge picture was displayed, with five big characters on the top: Mountains and rivers are broken.

The original picture of this picture was in Fushou, and the most skilled embroiderers were invited in the craftsman's workshop to embroider the broken picture of mountains and rivers on a huge canvas.

This picture not only has the Chang'an scene painted by Fu Shou, but also collects the tragic scenes of the troubled times from all over the world, all of which are drawn in the broken mountains and rivers.

Cities, villages, roads, a large number of refugees fleeing the famine, women under the rebels, yellow-skinned and thin children, rickety old people under the ruins, thousands of troops on the battlefield, people queuing up to receive relief with confused eyes......

All kinds of scenes, gathered into a whole picture, unfolded in the majestic stargazing platform, with desolation in the magnificent atmosphere,

The canvas is framed in a huge plaque of transparent jade, which hangs high on the pillar wall outside the Pavilion of Heroes, and Liu Zhang walks out from under the plaque.

Under the high stage, Zhi Lanying, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Wang Shuang, Fan Lixiang, Jiang Wan, Huang Quan, Li Yan and other civil and military personnel were erected, as well as many soldiers, quietly staring at the canvas.

Liu Zhang stepped on the outer edge of the rooftop, under the high stone stairs, headed by Zhi Lanying and Huang Quan, and all the civil and military officials bowed down.

"Respectfully, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, move to the throne!" The sound of the majestic mountains and rivers pierced the last silence of the early morning.

"Order, take all the prisoners to the stargazing platform, and correct the Fa on the spot to sacrifice the souls of thousands of heroes of the Han Dynasty in the sky!"

Countless prisoners were dressed in strings and escorted by a large number of troops, including the children of the former Hebei and Central Plains clans, as well as the children of the Huang family and hundreds of officials who committed the crime this time.

The total number reached more than 100,000 people, all of whom were detained, and the executioner's knife was glowing with cold light.

Liu Zhang believes that only the blood of countless people can make the Han people truly remember the previous heroes and remember the broken mountains and rivers. (To be continued......)
